00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:05.760
I'm Jasmine.

2
00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:08.600
I studied philosophy
with psychology for two years,

3
00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:12.280
and then I dropped psychology
and just philosophy.

4
00:00:12.440 --> 00:00:14.080
So I graduated with a B.A.

5
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.240
philosophy in 2023.

6
00:00:16.240 --> 00:00:19.400
So I recently finished
working at Darktrace,

7
00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:21.240
which is a cyber security company.

8
00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:23.360
I was a salesperson,

9
00:00:23.360 --> 00:00:25.320
German speaking salesperson.

10
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.720
I've now decided to do
my master's at Edinburgh,

11
00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:33.360
in MSc in Environments, Society
and Culture.

12
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:38.480
The skills that I gained to Warwick, specifically
for my course, like,

13
00:00:38.720 --> 00:00:39.760
the ability to absorb

14
00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:44.040
an enormous amount of information
and condense that and analyse it.

15
00:00:44.720 --> 00:00:47.840
Then make deductive reasoning
and I think that's something

16
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.840
that is very difficult,

17
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.960
actually, to master,
and I think it's a skill that I

18
00:00:54.760 --> 00:00:58.640
still, developing, but
it's something that I really learned to focus on,

19
00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:02.840
during my course. During my time at Warwick,
my attitude towards things were,

20
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:04.400
try everything.

21
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.520
I was part of Warwick,

22
00:01:06.520 --> 00:01:10.280
Taekwondo for women's football, rowing, salsa.

23
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:13.920
I really did try everything and that was
fantastic,

24
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.200
and I would recommend anyone
to do that.

25
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.640
The other opportunities
I had outside of my course at Warwick.

26
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:24.560
Were the ability to join societies,
Such as Warwick RAG.

27
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:30.360
Where I climbed, Mount Kilimanjaro
in my second year, which was fantastic.

28
00:01:30.360 --> 00:01:31.800
Really, really difficult,

29
00:01:31.800 --> 00:01:35.440
but it was such an amazing opportunity
that I was able to do this.

30
00:01:35.440 --> 00:01:39.920
I took part in a mock COP
conference at Warwick as well,

31
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.040
which was super interesting.

32
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:45.280
I represented the Ukraine, and I learned

33
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:48.280
all about climate and politics.

34
00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:51.200
Some of my favorite things
to do on campus,

35
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:55.840
sitting in the Piazza with my friends,
having a cup of coffee from Greece and,

36
00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:01.640
watching Eurovision or football that came on
and watching it on the big screen.

37
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.840
I really appreciated about university
autonomy that you have the freedom to do

38
00:02:06.080 --> 00:02:09.920
what you like, to choose
what really inspires you and drives you.

39
00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:12.960
Instead of being told what to do, which,

40
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.960
is something
you really appreciate once you leave,

41
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.480
and I think one should really take

42
00:02:19.480 --> 00:02:23.000
your time and appreciate it as much
as possible while you're at university.
